2022/23 James Garner

[twoblue]

Cos it's fairly obvious he's not the creative, attacking, 7/8 goal a season midfielder we crave.

If they score 7/8 they will have games where they don’t score

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Not sure what he is, but he's defo not what we need.

Would like to see him get a start.

Same, especially in games where we expect to have more of the ball, as Gueye has been quite wasteful in possession

Was always sceptical about bringing him back and tbh I think he has been fairly meh in most of the games, gets knocked off the ball very easily and passing not the greatest.

It never was. That's not what PSG bought him for.

I think the issue is, the 3 lads in there have done well.

I'd like to see us, in away games when clearly it's not happening for our wide lads, switch to Iwobi of the right and get Onana, Gana and Garner as a 3. I think it would give us far greater control

 

[everton1953]

Drop Gana preferably, or Onana and give Garner a run.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Struggling to see what this guy does, he falls in middle of being both an average def mid and less than average creative player

And you're basing that on what... about 90 minutes of playing time in like 5 games coming off the bench..
the only way you can really say your struggling to see what he does is cos he hasn't actually had the chance yet to show us what he can bring to the team.

I personally have high hopes for the lad and think we could have a little diamond for the future here. but I will happily admit I haven't seen enough of him yet for my opinion to be anymore then 'hopes' yet.

I mean you have clearly seen him more than me. In what position do you have 'high hopes' for him?

Well from what I have seen from the lad, he wants and looks for the ball and straight away he's looking for that forward pass. sounds simple really but that already brings me confidence compared to what we have been seeing in recent years from our midfield.

I'd probably drop onana just because I don't think it would hurt to give him a rest. He's still really young

That thing of always trying to make yourself available for the ball seems obvious but so few midfielders do it consistently, agree he does seem to do it well and is positive in possession

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Wouldn't mind seeing him start over Gana on Saturday
